Future Contingents and the Logic of Temporal Omniscience [PDF]

At least since Aristotle’s famous 'sea-battle' passages in On Interpretation 9, some substantial minority of philosophers has been attracted to the doctrine of the open future--the doctrine that future contingent statements are not true. But, prima facie,

Evil, Freedom and Heaven [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophy of Science, 2000
Is tense real and objective? Can the fact that something is past, say, be wholly objective, consistent with modern physics? I believe that it can.

Indeterminate Analyticity

open access: yesJournal for the History of Analytical Philosophy, 2023
W. V. Quine is commonly read as holding that there are no analytic truths and no a priori truths. I argue that this is a misreading. Quine’s view is that no sentence is determinately analytic or determinately a priori. I show that my reading is better supported by Quine’s arguments and general remarks about meaning and analyticity.

Similarity accounts of counterfactuals: A reality check1

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 887-915, May 2025.
Abstract To an unusual extent, philosophers agree that counterfactuals have truth conditions involving the most similar possible worlds where their antecedents are true, in the style of the celebrated and path‐breaking Stalnaker/Lewis accounts. Roughly, these accounts say that the counterfactual if A were the case, C would be the case is true if and ...
